Yeah, SS. My other 3 silencers were flawless, maybe a couple days in preparing eform status. However, this was also last year when it was still 300 days for trusts and 270 for individuals.

Was going to call them today but didn't have time. First thing I had planned.

I didn't realize that Form 1s on trusts were that fast right now. Maybe I should SBR some more stuff.

Did you get an email from eForms saying your status is SUBMITTED/IN PROCESS?

You should have gotten it right after certifying.

SS is laggy with updates. It sometimes takes a few days for them to update your status. My account said “ready to certify” a few days after I actually certified.

Once you certify, you really have no more use for SS. All communication will be from eForms.

What?  I did an eForm 4 via my local dealer through SS system the last week of February and it doesn’t show in my ATF eForms dashboard.  This is my first eForm 4.  My old eForm 1s all show but this 4 doesn’t.  Is that normal?  I called ATF the other day just to confirm they have it and it shows PENDING on their end.  I only called because I was surprised mine hasn’t come back with all these 1-2 day approval stories.

Yes, that is normal for it to not show on your ATF eForms dashboard, but you should have received an email from eForms that they received the form.

Although I bought the can more than a week ago, the Form 4 wasn’t submitted until today.  I used Capitol Armory because they had it in stock.  I’ve used both CA and SS in the past.  

This is my first can in ten years.  The last one I bought was before the 41F nonsense.  

You have to call CA to do an online guided certification to submit to the FATF.  The guy I talked to said they’ve been really busy.  Makes me wonder how long approval will take.

Thanks for the response. I did get the email from eforms the day I certified.  My eform status does not list any forms pending or any other status. Is that normal?

At what point do you call to check?

The whole process will take about 30 days.

The longest wait is the CLEO notification and the 7+ days they wait after that before shipping to you.

My Form 4 once submitted was approved just under 48 hours later.

My entire timeline for a CA mail direct can is looking to be 3/28 (Ordered) and ~4/28  (est delivered date, as mine will ship 4/24).

Yes, normal. They won’t show up in your eforms account, that info would be in the account of the person transferring to you.

Submitted an Eform 4 Individual last Friday, came back approved Tuesday of this week. Turnaround time is still fast. When I went to pick up my can at the dealer yesterday, their printer was running pretty much the whole time printing out the approved forms for the day. Pretty incredible.

Called dealer, it's sitting in their inventory with my name on it. Been waiting an hour on hold with SS.
As usual, when I finally start to call around and find out what's going on (firearm or non-firearm related), status changes and it's ready. SS went from Pending to Action Required and they said the Form3 was the obvious hold up. My dealer got the OCM last night.

Just certified and the dealer said they had a sub-24 hour approval this week.

That is true. The Form 4 is only viewable on the dealer's/transferor's eForms until the transfer is completed.

Picked up my new Dead Air Nomad L today.  Purchased last Thursday, docusign Friday, ready to certify Saturday afternoon.  Submitted Saturday afternoon with email received.  Approved today at lunch time.

93 hours and 32 minutes from submitted to approved.  And half that time wasn't even a work day.

I had to force myself out of the store without buying another.

Depends. Trusts are taking between 1-4 months, currently, if they were certified within the last couple months. Otherwise, you're probably looking at 6-9 months.

You will get an email directly from the ATF.
That will likely arrive far in advance of any SS updates.

Yes. $200 per to make or transfer any NFA item but AOW.

AOW is $200 to make(if you do your own) and $5 to transfer.
